Quigley’s Point Swifts FC celebrated their 50th year with the Club Presentation Dinner Dance in the Point Inn last Friday.
Quigley’s Point Swifts FC turned 50 during the first lock-down and their big anniversary was celebrated with a long-anticipated Dinner Dance on the 28th of October, during which senior and junior teams were presented with trophies from their successful year on the pitch.
Members young and old of Quigley’s Point Swifts came together in Friday 28th of October for the long-anticipated Presentation Dinner Dance in the Point Inn after putting it on hold for two years due to the Covid Pandemic.
Everyone was very excited to be there, especially the children who were gathered in the middle of the room and who have become great friends over the years.
